The primarypurpose and object ofmy new l" In the drawingsi .Y f h p 1 n Fig. l is a side view of the end of a cross-cut and improved lcross cut saw handle isgto provide a simple attaching means for attaching 'a handlegtothe blade of a cross cut saw. .1.5 Heretofoie attachments of the .kind referred to'had atendencyv tobeeome loose when atta'che'di-,tothehandle.as they did not force anintimate contact between the handle `fastening and the blade o the saw excepting upon 1p one side. .In mv'new andy improved construction the'attaching means is forced into inti-k mate Contact with the top Aside andthe endof Vthe .blade therebypreventingthe loosening of the attaching element from the blade.

[A further object of my invention consists infan attachmentthat jnot only Yengages the top ,sideA of the sawblade but engages the-end as well and means being provid-ed for the maintaining of atight relationship between .The inventionconsistsprimarily of a .element having a ferrule disposed upon one endinto.' which the handle elementI is made to engage. The body element having a' slot 25 formed th-ereininto which the saw blade may n be inserted. A lockinghead isgdisposed. withkin the-body element with means for adjusting the same and an inclined'slo'tfis formed within thehead. Thepurposevof-the slot visto torce y a Atight engagement between -:the-pin passing through-the slot. and the/head. thereby 'ormving a tight Contact between the body element; and one side and one end of the vsaw blade. 4; 'A further object ,of myinventionresides in e 35 a-.simple and'elcient'constrnction that may Y becheaply made and that may be used. yover alterationjor repair.
